Putting the Populist Revolt in Its Place (Joseph S. Nye, Jr., Project-Syndicate)

The rise of the right: Right-wing populism in the U.S. and Europe (E.J. Dionne, Jr., Adrianna Pita, Constanze Stelzenmüller, Brookings)

Dionne, Jr.

The Republican establishment fears he will not be able to defeat Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee. But some observers worry more about the prospect of a Trump presidency. Some even see Trump as a potential American Mussolini.
